Now shelter I must find from strong gale about to rise! The Northern lights delight me Sets the darkened skies ablaze As I slowly make my way over glade To reach the firwoods rising gates But savoring came the jaws of night Swallowing all but moon and stars Storm, it groped till raging blow Impaling bare-clothed Like dagger thrown by embittered foe Beneath the flickering eyes of night There under firwoods branch, he rests In the cradle made by encrusted snow Without a grief or care The northern lights... The icewinds cold breath forces me To this fortress of evertrees That offers me a place to rest Den for me and the beasts as well Oh Fortuna thou hath abandoned me! Who could see through the veil of night? Could hear the fainting call of the desperate one When the storm rages on and on... ...and once again it strikes forth with Such a furious howling blow No mercy given for the lost Who is seeking a way out from This horrid maze of ice and snow Under the stars may moon guide your way, But cold Northwinds will blow eternally Under the stars, beneath the blazing skies You were forced to leave from where forest remains...
Out from the darkness just like that A swelling light became Now chanting for the traveller Whose road became to it's end The Northern lights delight thee Sets the darkened skies ablaze As you slowly make your way over glade To reach the firwoods rising gates Savoring will come the jaws of night Swallows all but moon and stars Storm it gropes till raging blow Impaling the one who tries To conquer the forest's throne Beneath the stars may moon guide your way But cold Northwinds will blow eternally
